Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, a far-left ideologue and son of late communist academic Marcus Raskin, recently appeared on the Pod Save America podcast, where he issued a chilling warning to conservatives. Raskin vowed that once Democrats regain power, they will retaliate against those who “facilitated” President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, absurdly labeling his administration as “fascist chaos.” This kind of hyperbolic, divisive rhetoric is par for the course for the liberal media and its allies, who consistently smear Trump and his supporters as threats to democracy while openly plotting their own brand of political retribution.
Raskin’s remarks were steeped in the same tired, alarmist talking points that dominate left-wing discourse. “We need to be engaging in far more work of transnational democratic solidarity with the democratic governments and the democratic movements and peoples and parties of the world, to try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that’s been unleashed against us,” he declared. But the real authoritarianism lies in Raskin’s own words—his threat that Democrats “are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated… authoritarianism in our country.” This is nothing more than a thinly veiled promise to weaponize the government against political opponents, a move straight out of the socialist playbook.
The Maryland Democrat has long been a vocal critic of President Trump’s policies, particularly on immigration. Raskin recently railed against the deportation of violent gang members to El Salvador, outrageously calling it a “blatant violation of American due process and all of our constitutional values.” This is the same man who, just weeks ago, demanded his colleagues “denounce all violent threats, doxxing, online vilification, and threats against our judges,” while ignoring the left’s own history of intimidating conservative justices and lawmakers. The hypocrisy is staggering.

The liberal media, of course, amplifies Raskin’s incendiary rhetoric without question, framing Trump’s lawful and necessary actions as “authoritarian” while giving Democrats a free pass for their actual abuses of power. President Trump, in contrast, has consistently upheld the rule of law, defended the Constitution, and put American citizens first—whether by securing the border, standing up to activist judges, or draining the swamp of corrupt bureaucrats.
